Favorite Experiences in Ecuador

After spending two weeks in Ecuador, I must agree that there is truth to the country’s slogan All You Need is Ecuador.  With its vibrant colonial centers, indigenous villages, awe-inspiring peaks, tropical rainforests, and diverse wildlife, the country, indeed, has it all.  We spent time in Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage site that sits in the foothills of the Andes, in the verdant Amazon rainforest, and along the majestic Avenue of the Volcanoes.

Here are my favorite experiences:

Hiking to Volcan Quilotoa

Rafting in the Amazon

Indulging on street food at ParqueLa Carolina in Quito

Straddling the northern and southern hemispheres 
at La Mitad del Mundo

Hiking in the Amazon Rainforest

Riding a tandem bike with my travel partner at Parque El Ejido in Quito
